Welcome, welcome to the community 👋 🏊 I promise you that I'll teach you exactly how the sports psychologist of Michael Phelps (Dr. Jim Bauman) helped me overcome my pre-race anxiety and turned me from an OK-ish swimmer into an Olympian and Swiss record holder in less than 1 year. But first... Pls, introduce yourself :) Let's goooooo! 🚀 P.S. Vote on your swimming dream. How big can you dream?

Hey, I’m Ally, a friend of David Karasek, and I am writing a project on the topic “the influence of psychology on swimmers”. My goal is to collect answers from a questionnaire I’ve set up on order to analyse the importance of psychology and how to use it to promote athletic success. I would be very grateful for anyone who’d be interested in answering the questions. Questions - How important do you consider the mental component of competition and training for your sport? - How would you split the difference bewteen the mental and physical component? - Do you do active mind training, is it included in your program? - What external factors influence your mind? - Have you ever worked with a sports psychologist to improve your mental resilience? If so, how did it change your approach to the sport? - What role does goal setting play in your training and competition preparation? How does your mental approach to goals influence your performance? - Can you describe a time when your motivation was low? How did it affect your training or competition results, and how did you overcome it? - How do you mentally adjust during a competition if things aren’t going as planned? Can you give an example of a time when mental flexibility helped you succeed? - Do you have any other mental strategies you use? - Does the physical or psychological enable you to push for longer or continue to endure the pain? - When you are competing, how do you know when to give 100% and when to conserve energy? - Do you think swimming backstroke vs the other strokes is mentally more challenging because you can’t see where you’re going and you don’t have a line to follow?
